"NYU To Offer Class On Occupy Wall Street"

I’m tempted to talk about the irony of kids taking out student loans to enroll in a class that will “study” why irate college grads who can’t get jobs are camped out in tents complaining about the amount they owe on student loans, but then I think, no, let’s let whole thing play itself out as a piece of cultural performance art and see if anybody involved in the enterprise is self-aware enough to remove him or herself as one of the brush strokes.

Meanwhile, I’m going to get stoned and squint at the thing and see if I can’t find, like, a clipper ship or something hiding in all the ostensible visual noise.

Peter Bearman, professor of sociology at Columbia University, also expressed enthusiasm about the new course.

“OWS as a topic of study offers prismatic opportunities to consider the changing shape of inequality in our society and the dynamic processes of repertoire change in social movements globally, from the picket line to the sit-in, to the consideration of life course trajectories, among other themes central to the sociological apprehension of the modern context,” he said.

Get college credit for figuring out new ways to bitch and moan about the same old shit.
lmfao.

You know perfectly well that the class won’t be about people who overspent on useless degrees not being able to pay off their loans. It will be about the inherent justice of systems based around individual liberty and responsibility, and how we have to pay people to sit around and wank all day — call it “art” — in order to have a just society. And how calling for government to treat people equally regardless of their skin tone or religious faith or sexual orientation is racism, bigotry, and homophobia. And how wanting to spend your income on YOURSELF is all selfish and shit.

And how anyone who disagrees deserves to have a howling mob on their doorstep, pounding on their doors like extras in a zombie flick.

Hey! It’s high time we had a new branch of ‘grievance studies’! We needed something to suppliment Ugly Bitter Womens’ Studies and Downtrodden Minority Studies that makes pampered upper middle class kids feel like they have a legitimate gripe when Dad refuses to by them a new ‘vette.

A new International Climate Court will have the power to compel Western nations to pay ever-larger sums to third-world countries in the name of making reparation for supposed “climate debt”. The Court will have no power over third-world countries. Here and throughout the draft, the West is the sole target. “The process” is now irredeemably anti-Western.

More than 100 Occupy Wall Street demonstrators stormed the set for “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” across from the Manhattan State Supreme Courthouse, shutting down production of an OWS-themed episode.

“We made it so that they could not exploit us and that’s awesome,” said Tammy Schapiro, 29, of Brooklyn. […]

“This is not us,” said Drew Hornbein, 24, of Brooklyn Heights. “We are not part of corporate TV America.” […]

After midnight, a police officer on a bullhorn announced that the film permit had been rescinded by the city, which drew cheers from the crowd. […]

“This is bastardization going on. This is not the case of imitation is a form of flattery,” said a man identified as Scooby 49. “This is insulting.”

L&O has been doing anti-conservative shows over the years and not once has any criticism of their bias stopped ’em.

Yet, the smelly, criminal #Occupods (whom, I will bet, got sympathetic depiction in the script) get the production stopped first time out.

Before: Barack Obama has one economic plan: borrow from our grandchildren and shovel that money out the door to political allies as quickly as possible. It’s time to again became a nation that saves for our grandchildren, not one that mooches off of them.

After: We empathize with you and we’re going to help: We stand boldly for slightly less more government!

Worried about taking physical possession of your gold investment? (I know, knowing this crowd, the gold is probably being held in bullet form for additional emergency practicality – if you’re a good enough shot you can always get it back…). Anyway, for the rubes, Jon Corzine will be happy to hold your gold safe and secure. Your physical gold in his vaults. What could go wrong?

She’s gonna have to keep her own seat to get there. Is that a foregone conclusion? I’d be glad if it were, but then it’s also in Minnesota, which is a political weirdness to me, what with sending Franken to the Senate and putting the dumbest Senator ever into the Governorship.

Article I, Section 2 of the Constitution states: “The House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker and other Officers.” The Speaker is elected by roll call vote when each new House first convenes. Customarily, the conference of each major party nominates a candidate whose name is placed in nomination. Although the Constitution does not require the Speaker to be a member of the House, all Speakers have been members. Members normally vote for the candidate of their own party conference, but could vote for any individual, whether nominated or not. To be elected, a candidate must receive an absolute majority of votes cast, which may be less than a majority of full membership of the House, because of absentees of Members voting “present.” If no candidate receives the requisite majority, the roll call is repeated until a Speaker is elected.*

That said, she probably wouldn’t have a shot at it if she wasn’t a member.
